RISK ASSESSMENT AT INTEROUTE TRANSPORT Fleet size: 400 vehicles and 700 trailers Sites: 25 in the UK Jeff Nicholson is fleet engineer of lnteroute's Gas & Chemicals Division. based at the Eaglesclille depot. He reckons the Company's health and safety procedure is probably his most useful workshop management tool.
Nowhere is this more evident than in risk assessment a procedure introduced into law as part of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992 (an element of the so-called 'Six Pack), In all areas of engineering we find risk assessments not only useful as a training tool but also in managing the workshop," says Nicholson. You must follow the process through and cater for all the 'what ifs The depot runs Daf and ERF tractors, haukng tankers and ISO tanks carrying a range of chemicals and refrigerated gases. This is a 24/7 operation in a demanding environment requiring ADR compliance.
The depot is retrofitting side-rails and walkways to Interoutas tanker fleet to meet the HSE/RHA Tanktop protocol, Existing risk assessments and its safe systems of work have been reviewed and amended to cover this work. The photograph (above) shows the frame constructed for these modifications in this case on a tanker used for the carriage of hydrochloric acid.
However, assessments are not restricted to vehicles and the workshop alone. Every activity is risk assessed. from the delivery of diesel to the changing of a wheel.
